You're joking, right?
Right. Nothing like an incessant stream of vitriolic flame wars to create a "comfortable environment."
Yes, let us imagine that. In such a room, you don't start up one contentious political issue after another. It is a well known axiom that you do not discuss religion or politics in polite company. You've done both.
These forums are about games- MUDs in particular. Political discussions do not, and have never, brought people together on this or any other forum like it. Such discussions are divisive. That's it. They tear asunder any shread of community that exists around the one thing we all have in common- MUDs.
Frankly, I would support the outright ban of all political discussions as they do nothing but harm the greater purpose of the forums.
At the very least, put them all in one forum and then set that forum to NOT have its threads appear on the main page.
They are not productive. They are harmful, negative, and divisive.
